Everything You Need to Know about WeVow Membership

Everything You Need to Know about WeVow Membership

A public promise to build a culture of safety and trust

WeVow was created by Matt Pipkin, founder of Speak Your Silence, a non-profit organization working to help those affected by sexual abuse and assault to find their voice and move forward.

In late 2017, Matt began to see headline after headline of sexual harassment involving high-profile individuals in Hollywood, network news, and business. Around the same time, Matt learned that his wife, Ashley, had experienced sexual harassment at a former workplace event and didn’t know what to do about it. Matt knew he had to do something about it and created WeVow.

WeVow equips organizations to communicate how much they value their people. When people feel cared for and safe, it allows them to be their best. WeVow is designed to give people 100% clarity that sexual harassment is not tolerated in an organization.

WeVow is strategically partnered with San Diego-based brand development and design consultancy, BLVR, Boise-based behavioral health and managed services company, BPA Health, and Nagpur (India) based software development company Ranium Systems.

Why is WeVow needed?

01

WeVow is there for your employees when they need it most.

87-94% of employees who experience harassment in the workplace do not file a formal complaint, many fearing retaliation. Becoming a WeVow member demonstrates that you take a clear stance against sexual harassment.

02

Sexual harassment costs everyone.

It costs the victim their feeling of safety, security, and value in their workplace. It costs the organization equity and trust with the company itself and with the consumer. It costs the consumer any feeling of goodwill in association with the business or product.

03

When people feel safe and supported by their employer, they’re empowered to thrive and be effective in all areas of life.

When organizations instill trust, they attract and retain top talent and build customer loyalty.

04

The best organizations have taken a vow to live by a higher standard of respect, dignity, and safety in the workplace.

You’ll recognize these organizations when you see the WeVow Member Seal.

Employers are required to agree to the following three (3) vows:

Give people 100% clarity that sexual harassment is not tolerated in your workplace.

Give every person a voice to report if something happens and counseling to work through it

Build trust as an organization that deliberately takes care of its people and lives by a higher standard

What WeVow Is (And Isn’t)

What WeVow is

  • WeVow Member seal and materials to proudly display in your place of business, across all organization platforms and materials including website, social media, employee handbooks, and more.

  • Incident reporting platform for all employees to report incidents of sexual harassment to human resources or management as a victim or witness, allowing 2-way communication for follow-up.

  • Five counseling sessions per year for incidents of sexual harassment (including events spanning the employee’s lifetime)*3 for California-based companies

What It Isn't

  • WeVow is very simple to join and is not a layered certification process that will take weeks or months to finish.

  • While WeVow Membership offers tremendous value to HR managers, primarily through the Incident Reporting Platform, it is much more about internal and external communication than HR management. The Incident Reporting Platform is just one important aspect of WeVow Membership.

  • WeVow is NOT a policing or monitoring program. Think of your WeVow account - and your Incident Reporting Platform - as you would your organization’s email system. While WeVow’s system will store your organization’s information within your account for you and your employees to access, WeVow will not at any time access or police your organization’s information.

What does zero tolerance mean in regards to my organization’s WeVow Membership?

WeVow Members must adhere to the following zero tolerance policy: Zero tolerance means that we will not tolerate any form of sexual harassment or assault behaviors, regardless of the severity of the wrongful conduct or the individual committing the wrongful conduct. Any person who is found to have committed sexual harassment or sexual assault in the workplace and/or against any other employee, agent, vendor, customer, or service provider of the organization will be subject to immediate disciplinary or corrective action, at the sound discretion of the organization, up to and including immediate discharge from employment. Without exception, each and every employee, officer, director, manager, supervisor, or other individual employed by the organization is subject to this zero tolerance policy. Management and/or human resources will have the sole discretion to determine the severity of the consequence based upon, among other things, the severity of the conduct; provided, the individual accused of wrongful conduct shall not be involved in any decisions with regard to the consequences for his/her own wrongful conduct. For purposes of this zero tolerance policy, the wrongful conduct covered hereby includes not only sexual harassment and sexual assault, but also any form of retaliatory action against any individual who reports sexual harassment or sexual assault in the workplace.
